REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–February 22, 2022–

Styra, Inc., the founders and maintainers of Open Policy Agent (OPA) and leader in cloud native authorization, today announced Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) for cloud native entitlements. Addressing the authorization gap between legacy and modern applications, this new feature enables Identity and Access Management (IAM) teams to take full advantage of existing systems of record while providing developer teams with what they need. need: cloud-native and context-rich. authorization, replicated across clouds, regions, Availability Zones, and clusters. With Styra DAS, enterprises can use their existing centralized IAM systems to seamlessly move applications to the cloud and accelerate their cloud migration with unified authorization.

As organizations continue their digital transformation, they find that their internal entitlement solutions are hindering progress because their functionality also needs to be migrated to the cloud. These services are built on top of LDAP, AD, SCIM, etc., and if left on premise would create a high latency single point of failure for a modern application, a clear anti-pattern for cloud applications.

“For IAM teams that previously had to put together their own band-aid of entitlements, our technology is a game-changer,” said Tim Hinrichs, co-founder and chief technology officer of Styra. “Now, with Styra DAS for Cloud-Native Entitlements, IAM teams can finally transition to cloud-native technologies and scale to the level their organizations require. We are the first and only organization to support this for enterprise environments.

Styra DAS for cloud-native entitlements

Styra DAS for Cloud-Native Entitlements enables organizations to decouple rules, regulations, and policies from an application and use existing data sources, which:

• Improves time to market: Seamlessly provide application teams with an easy-to-run, stateless, cloud-native permissions service that can be deployed alongside their application.
• Avoid costs: Use existing centralized IAM systems, avoid costly reviews, and understand the impact a policy will have on the application.
• Provides audit-ready authorization: access to predefined rule packs that align with decision logs: evidence of authorization enforcement is clear and exportable.

“Styra DAS for Cloud-Native Entitlements solves a difficult problem that many enterprise IAM teams face when migrating to cloud-native environments,” said Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole. “There is a strong need for policy-based management of these rights. Styra is launching an innovative solution to address these challenges.

Styra has experienced substantial growth and recently secured $40 million in a Series B funding round in May 2021. In 2022, Styra will add to its turnkey takeover control plan to provide unified licensing on the native cloud stack. With the open source project growing 300% year-over-year to over 125 million downloads to date, OPA has become the de facto standard for authorization in the native cloud environment. Styra DAS provides a unified policy-as-code, OPA-based platform to ensure cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, application, and service mesh deployments are secure and compliant. Together, OPA and Styra DAS provide security, operational, and compliance safeguards across the entire cloud-native stack.
